What happened next had nothing to do with the "merciful and ruthless rainy night duo". As the police sirens sounded in front of Kabukicho, Duanmu Ci quickly straightened his bicycle and rode on it. Wei Yue's bicycle was smashed, so he stood on the rear axle of Duanmu Ci's bicycle and opened his black umbrella to shield the two of them from the rain.
Duanmu Ci pedaled his bicycle and sped off, leaving a trail of feathers behind.
The onlookers saw the two men, who had just been as fierce as demons descending to earth, now riding a bicycle with one of them standing on the axle, just like students leaving school in Shinjuku.
They cheered as the bicycle drove away.
Duanmu Ci drove the car onto the main road for motor vehicles. The tall streetlights were dim and bright. They rode their bicycles along the road, with cars whizzing past them from time to time. Some young drivers would even slow down, roll down their windows, and whistle at them.
Wei Yue stood on the axle, shouting and waving her arms wildly, even singing ancient songs when she got excited. The black umbrella had long been thrown away, and the rain poured down, soaking them to the bone. Duanmu Ci gripped the handlebars and pedaled hard, while Wei Yue stood behind him directing the direction.
They are usually calm and collected people, unfazed even by a sudden clap of thunder. But now they are completely different from their usual selves, exuding the same high spirits as boys who have just successfully confessed their love to girls outside the girls' dormitory.
"She's so young," a passing driver thought to himself.

Just like a pebble thrown into a lake, although it will sink to the bottom quickly, the ripples it creates at the moment of impact will spread out in circles and last for a long time.
The fight that took place in Kabukicho last night was actually not large-scale. There are countless brawls of this level on the desk of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Chief every week. As long as they do not cause major disturbances or serious negative social repercussions, the busy police chief usually does not get involved.
But the brawl that took place in Kabukicho last night was truly unusual. What was unusual wasn't the Nakamura and Yamashita groups involved, but the nature of their conflict: it involved the trafficking of foreign people into the country and forcing them into unhealthy professions, albeit unsuccessfully...
The Chinese and Russian embassies expressed strong indignation and protest over the incident, jointly writing to the Governor of Tokyo demanding a thorough investigation, putting considerable pressure on the governor. When superiors are under pressure, subordinates naturally want to share the burden, and Police Chief Masahiro Tachibana, who oversees such matters, became the obvious choice for crisis management.
Tachibana Masahiro is a veteran in the police force, with extensive experience and a decisive approach. Upon learning of the incident, he immediately crawled out of his lover's bed and returned to the police station, where he issued arrest warrants for Nakamura Haruo and Yamashita No overnight, demanding their swift prosecution!
Because this matter involved international affairs, it was of great importance. He personally led a team to Kabukicho to apprehend and rescue the person. However, when they arrived, they were all dumbfounded by what they saw.
They were astonished to find that they didn't even need to lift a finger; the target of their arrest had already been defeated, sitting in the rain like a group of stray dogs.
What a pathetic dog!
They calmly handcuffed these damned people, then inquired about the location of the trafficked individuals and sent a small group to rescue them. After that, Tachibana Masahiro began asking the still-gathering onlookers about the specifics of the situation, because the whole thing was indeed quite bizarre.
This question was quite something; the enthusiasm of these eyewitnesses was simply off the charts! Tachibana Masahiro, who had been a policeman for over twenty years, had never encountered anything like this before. In the past, even if someone witnessed the scene, they generally didn't want to cause trouble and would be evasive when questioned by the police, for fear of getting into trouble.
But this time was different. Everyone was chattering away, their enthusiasm for assisting the police in solving the case was very high. This almost gave Tachibana Masahiro the illusion that "the quality of our citizens has improved again." However, he quickly dismissed the thought after remembering that this was Kabukicho.
Tachibana Masahiro pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to stop talking in a disorderly manner and to line up in an orderly fashion, one at a time.
After listening to everyone's words, Tachibana Masahiro almost cursed out loud—you guys think this is a movie, you bastards!
Two students, riding two bicycles and holding a black umbrella, were able to fight back and forth among nearly a hundred armed thugs and even capture their leader alive. What a joke!
However, his years of good official conduct prevented him from swearing, though he still couldn't believe their nonsense. He thought to himself that people who frequented Kabukicho were indeed uncouth; they probably hadn't studied properly, they couldn't even speak properly, misusing rhetoric, and describing a low-level brawl as a Ganryu Island showdown was truly outrageous!
He decided to retrieve nearby surveillance video.
He then dispatched a team to nearby shops to copy the video footage from their external security cameras. After the rescue team finished their work, he took all the members of the violent gang back to the police station. Because there were so many people, Tachibana Masahiro specially arranged for a large bus from the nearby traffic police to take them all away in one bus.
The final outcome for these individuals is not his concern as the police chief; that's a matter for the judges, and he might even have to consider the whims of the legislators. However, understanding the background and circumstances of these people is something he, as the police chief, cannot ignore.
Although the Nakamura and Yamashita groups were extremely small violent gangs, they were still registered with the Metropolitan Police Department. Therefore, Tachibana Masahiro could access their information through the internal database to get a preliminary understanding, though he wouldn't be able to learn much. Since their second-generation leaders were already in police custody, this information wasn't really necessary, but he still needed to review the surveillance footage from the scene.
He convened a meeting of his police officers and subordinates in the conference room, then turned on the projector and began playing the surveillance video that had been retrieved onto the white screen. Of course, the video had been edited and spliced together.
The video begins with two groups confronting each other in Kabukicho, the atmosphere tense and seemingly on the verge of exploding. However, the police officers present remain unfazed; for these seasoned veterans who frequently deal with gangland shootouts, this level of conflict is child's play.
As with all stories, the turning point is below.
